Analysis of a Nonlinear System Exhibiting Chaotic, Noisy Chaotic, and Random Behaviors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents a stochastic approach for the analysis of nonchaotic, chaotic, random and nonchaotic, random and chaotic, and random dynamics of a nonlinear system. The analysis utilizes a ...
Modeling and Identification of a Nonlinear SDOF Moored Structure, Part 1—Hydrodynamic Models and Algorithms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The highly nonlinear responses of compliant ocean structures characterized by a large-geometry restoring force and coupled fluid-structure interaction excitation are of great interest to ocean and ...
Modeling and Identification of a Nonlinear SDOF Moored Structure, Part 2—Comparisons and Sensitivity Study
